Chapter 63

Nothing Remains a Secret

SKYLA.

However, I also don’t want him to get angry.

“I… Did you tell Aleric about us?” I ask, I’m the fiery one usually… but right now I know I need to be the calm one because I’m not sure I want to see Royce lose it… often the most patient can be the deadliest when pissed off.

His aura rises as his eyes slowly meet mine, gone is the gentle Royce, he’s controlling himself but even I can see the burning rage within him.

“Why do you ask? Tell me, Love, did he say something to you?” His voice is low, deeper than usual, almost a growl and there’s a deadly aura around him.

A crack of thunder outside makes my head snap to the windows that stretch from the floor to the ceiling as a downpour of rain darkens the sky outside.

“You didn’t answer me.” I say softly, placing my hands on his chest. My gaze dips to his abs and fuck, I wish I had paid more attention…

I mean, I fucking did pay a lot of attention to every lickable inch, but I never compared…

Now thinking about it… Aleric’s abs were not as defined as Royce’s; he was slimmer too than Royce.

Even if the picture he sent was of him sitting, I should have clicked…

“No, I never told him, but I will say that I have been careless enough to leave my phone lying around in his presence. However, why do you ask that? Has he really not said something to you?” His icy gaze only becoming harder.

“Sit down.” I say, pushing him firmly yet gently back onto the sofa. He’s pissed, but he doesn’t resist.

“I’m going to hate what you are about to tell me, am I not?” He says, I don’t know if it’s his anger, but his accent sounds thicker.

“You really are sexy.” I murmur, making him raise an eyebrow, but at least it takes the edge off his anger.

I climb onto his lap, straddling him as I place my hands on his shoulder.

The temperature in the room has dropped, and I can feel the cold beginning to bite into me.
